There were times that Jesus separated himself from the multitudes.

And there are times when we need to separate ourselves from our lives, our work and even a ministry, and spend some time with our Lord.

I love how Jesus climbed a mountain. It made me think of an interesting analogy.

Picture the shape of a mountain.

It starts out wide at the bottom.  The higher we climb, the narrower it becomes, and the more we must stay close to the center.

As we go even higher yet, there’s less room to move to the left or the right—and there’s less and less ground that can be compromised—the more focused we need to be and the less we can afford to be distracted.

The higher we go, the less room we have to fool around!

Whatever you may be dealing with, you may just need to separate yourself and climb up to spend time with the Lord. Get centered on Him and focused on what He’s calling you to.

God wants us to learn to climb to the top and focus all of our lives on His will!

And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone. Matthew 14:23
